work's been crawling along so far this summer... slowly sapping the strength from my body every day at the office such that when i get home from work after the commute i usually don't do much more than eat, nap, play guitar, play with the "see futjai", and eat some more.... BUT, for the past few days i've been making use of the scanner my parents bought while i was away at uw this past term! lookin through old albums n stuff is always fun, and i thought why not use the scanner to preserve these memories and *gasp*...perhaps even share a few? i think i'll maybe do this once every week or so, or whenever i get the chance. here's what i conjured up while at the office today...

cirque du soleil's in vancouver this summer, from July-August, i see their huge blue tents everyday through the skytrain windows on my way to work. cirque's gotten pretty huge over the past few years, with much of their success due to exquisite artistry, dedicated performers, and it's engagingly themed masterpieces. however, i believe the "soul" of cirque du soleil was formed from the dedication of it's earliest performers. ppl don't really rmmbr those early visionaries, the grassroots performers who worked/trained for long hours just to make enough money to buy a baguette! no...but I remember, because i was there! yessiree, me and my lil sister both! we ran away to join the circus long ago, and after enduring many hardships and having proved our talents before countless carnival crowds, we were finally given a shot at auditioning for the then brand new phenomenon known as cirque du soleil...
